I was a big fan- a musical genius IMHO. I also thought he was a good actor, at least in his first time out in The Man Who Fell to Earth. Great sci-fi, too. I was working on a job in Chicago for a few days and saw he was the lead in the play "The Elephant Man." I thought he did a great job with that. I was just streaming his new album, too. Haven't even heard half of it yet...

David Jones had to change his name to David Bowie because a cast member of the Monkees had already pre-empted the name. Ironic. Bowie never went to the 'where are they now' file.

Aside from a 5 decade string of hits, he had quite a film career... David Bowie - IMDb

Amazing all around talent. Fantastic charisma. RIP

Epic musician and songwriter. I remember in the early 70s he was just too scary for me to appreciate. I was a 14 yr old kid and this guy was singing about cannibalism and infanticide. Aaak! As I got older I came to appreciate all of his work.

Bon voyage David.

Huge loss. One of my favorites growing up, staying relevant for decades. I love the Berlin era stuff - Berlin was the happening place in Europe in the 70s/80s. I am glad I was able to be there before the wall came down ...

RIP

I have so much respect for Bowie. How he grew, and how he aged. I wish he'd lived longer, he still had music in him, but I'm grateful for his providing much of the soundtrack for my life.

I was never a fan of his music, but I always admired his creativity, persistence and style.

We have lost a talent, I sympathize with his wife who apparently had a most durable and positive relationship with a guy who pretty well set the standard for unusual.

God bless David, Godspeed....
